Default Anyone have Walbro install pics?

Post up if you have them.
I need to reference something I did on an install here.
I want to see if anyone kept the plastic container that holds the pump itself.
I think this may be the cause of my problem.
Any and all pics are appreciated.
TIA
This is on a 2002 WS6.

Here are asome pics of the hole I had to cut in the trunk.

I feel stupid for not snapping a few pics of the pump itself.

I can give you a few pointers. I spent a lot of extra time doing things that you might want to do a little differently. Since I was mounting a new FPR in the engine bay I needed to remove the OEM FPR in the tank. You can gut the FPR and leave the shell, or spend about a 1/2 to use a dremel to remove the shell. I did that later but you don't need to. And this is only if you are getting a new FPR.

The whole thing took about 8 hours to do but only because the sleeve took 6 hours to grind out. the sleeve I'm taling about is the metal sleeve the stock pump uses. I cut the stock pump and removed the outer shell. I then tried to slide the walbro inside the metal sleeve, but the walbro was a little too bog. So using a stone grinder drill bit I started to grind out the inside of the sleeve. 6 hours later I finally got it. That was a frustrating day! I'm thinking there might be a better tool to grind that inside out. I'd spend some time to find that tool cause I was not enjoying myself that day.

I removed the accordian looking hose and replaced it with Fuel Injector black hose. Remeber to leave a little slack(or mount the pump a little high) cause when you reinstall the pump the carrier will compress a little in the tank.

If you look around there are some pics of 99+ tank installs. I printed them out and they were very helpful.

Hope this helps, if you have any questions post em up.

Mike

Thanks for responding.
What happened to me was I was getting ready to put another Walbro in a 2002 TA, when another guy with a 2001 TA called and said he was running way lean now after ruling out all other potential probs.
So I got worried because the Fuel pressure would go to 20 and drop down immediately.
It turns out the hose had blown off the inlet to the fuel supply line and kinked up between the FP and return line inlet.
It actually frayed the end of the hose.
So I just cut some of it off, and and took the slack off and pressure went back to what it should be.
Everything turned out okay, I was just a bit worried about a couple of things.
